Son of Edmund Pilling and Ann Campbell of England. Ann died in 1850 and Edmund in 1857; they are buried in Yorkshire County, England.
John married Margaret "Peggy" Ann Banks, 17 Oct 1818, at Christ Church, Bolton-by-Bowland, Yorkshire, England. He, Peggy, and their children, Richard (16); Mary Ann (13); and Joseph (10) set sail aboard the ship, The Argo which sailed 10 January 1850, arriving at the Port of New Orleans 11 March the same year.
After a steam boat trip on the Mississippi, they arrived at St. Lois where they remained for about six months. Here they reunited with their daughter Susannah Pilling Laycock, and her infant daughter, Mary. Susannah, the baby and Susannah's husband, Peter, had sailed in 1841 aboard The Sheffield.
Peter Laycock had died in 1849, before the arrival of the Pillings. Earlier that year, Peter had gone back to New Orleans to help other family members but disaster struck on the return trip; cholera broke out on board. Peter and others fell gravely ill and he died and was buried at Iowa Point the 30th May 1849. Susannah was never notified, and for over a hundred years the family didn't know what had happened to him.
Susannah had been staying with her younger sister Alice and Alice's husband, John Ellison, who immigrated with Peter and Susannah. Sadly, the Ellison's infant sons, John Ammon and David Samuel had also passed on in 1847 and 1849.
The little families began the trek west by 1852. The Pillings, having lost their youngest son Joseph in August of 1852, remained behind until the spring of 1853. Their grandson, Elijah Laycock, traveled on with them. Susannah, along with her three older children, remained until June of 1856, when the Philemon C. Merrill Company departed.
The Pilling's small wagon train was called the Atchison-Pilling Company, leaving Kanesville with four wagons in July of 1853; they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley 13 September 1853 with William Hildreth Atchison as their Captain.
Meanwhile, Susannah had met Benjamin F. Woodward, who was with same wagon company she had joined, and they had married during this time (about 1854/56).
The Pilling family settled at Kays Creek (Kaysville, Davis County) Utah, where they remained the rest of their lives.
